Unintentional, Nonfatal Firearm-Related Injuries
Authors: Nancy Sinauer
Journal: JAMA (1996)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To describe the magnitude and characteristics of unintentional, nonfatal firearm-related injuries treated in US hospital emergency departments. <h3>Design.</h3> —Data were obtained from medical records for all firearm-related injury cases identified using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) from June 1,1992, through May 31,1994. We report on cases classified as unintentional gunshot wounds. <h3>Setting.</h3> —NEISS comprises 91 hospitals that are a stratified probability sample of all hospitals in the United States and its territories that have at least 6 beds and provide 24-hour emergency service. <h3>Main Outcome Measures.</h3> —Number of and population rates for unintentional, nonfatal firearm-related injuries. <h3>Results.</h3> —An estimated 34485 (95% confidence interval [CI], 25225-43745) persons (6.7 per 100000 population; 95% CI, 4.9-8.5) were treated for unintentional, nonfatal firearm-related injuries in US emergency departments during the 2-year study period. The majority of patients were male (87%) and aged 15 to 34 years (61%); 38% required hospitalization. Injuries were most often to an extremity (73%), were self-inflicted (70%), involved a handgun (57%), and resulted during common gun-related activities. <h3>Conclusions.</h3> —Further development of effective interventions are needed to reduce the risk of injury from unintentional discharge of a firearm during routine gunhandling practices by those who own and use firearms. These injuries often occur during common gun-related activities such as gun cleaning, loading/unloading, hunting, target shooting, and showing, handling, or carrying. Studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of existing gun safety training courses and assess the potential role of various gun safety devices (eg, trigger locks and loading indicators) in future prevention strategies.

Human Papillomavirus Types and Recurrent Cervical Warts
Authors: Gerard J. Nuovo
Journal: JAMA (1990)

We analyzed cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CINs) detected after cryotherapy to determine if recurrence is associated with the same human papillomavirus (HPV) type found in the original lesion. Eight women had detectable HPV DNA in CINs that occurred after ablation of another CIN, and for each patient the HPV type in the pretreatment lesion was different from that in the CIN that appeared after cryotherapy. This compares with 12 women who had HPV detected in two or more CINs present at the same time, 11 of whom had the same HPV type noted. We concluded that although multiple, simultaneous CINs in a woman often contain the same HPV type, recurrent CINs that occur after cryotherapy contain an HPV type different from that present in the pretreatment lesion.

Is Congress Blowing Smoke at the VA?
Authors: Anne M. Joseph
Journal: JAMA (1994)

IN 1992 Congress passed the Veterans Health Care Act (Pub L No. 102-585).<sup>1</sup>This legislation requires Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals to establish "suitable" indoor or outdoor smoking areas that have "appropriate heating and air conditioning." This law is a major setback to progress accomplished by the nationwide VA hospital smoke-free policy implemented in 1991.<sup>2-4</sup>The law puts VA hospitals out of step with public and private hospitals and supersedes the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' smoke-free hospital accreditation standard,<sup>5</sup>and it has forced the VA to spend millions of dollars of the medical care budget on construction of smoking areas. A brief history only partially explains this turn of events. The image of a smoking veteran is a familiar one. The US government distributed millions of cartons of free cigarettes to World War II service personnel. Staging areas in the European theater of

Adding seeds to the diet may keep cancer at bay
Authors: Beverly Merz
Journal: JAMA (1983)

Recent epidemiologic evidence seems to indicate that Jack Spratt, by virtue of his preference for lean meat, is at lower risk for developing certain types of cancer than is his lipid-loving spouse. However, as participants at a recent seminar sponsored by the American Cancer Society were told, both Spratts may be at greater cancer risk than vegetarians. Still, they may be able to substantially lower their chances of developing cancer by adding seeds to their diet. This is the conclusion drawn by Walter Troll, PhD, professor of environmental medicine, New York University School of Medicine. Troll analyzed data from epidemiologic studies indicating that prostatic, breast, and colon cancer rates are higher in populations consuming relatively large quantities of meat (<i>Int J Cancer</i>1975;15:617-631) and lower in populations whose diet is rich in such "seed foods" as maize, beans, and rice (<i>Cancer Res</i>1981;41:3685-3690). He hypothesizes not only that the high

Nurse Practitioners and the Treatment of Sore Throats
Authors: Gene H. Stollerman
Journal: JAMA (1974)

The facts of the prevention of acute rheumatic fever are disarmingly simple. For a patient with an acute sore throat, we need to know simply, "Is the culture positive for hemolytic streptococci?" If not, the trouble and expense of antibiotics can be spared. If so, several effective options are open to the practitioner. A single injection of 1.2 million units of benzathine penicillin G (or 0.6 million in young children) is<i>optimal</i>treatment. The alternative of ten days of oral penicillin G therapy, or, for penicillin-allergic individuals, of erythromycin therapy, is also effective, but dependent on unpredictable patient fidelity. Unfortunately, the implementation of these principles is more complex than the simple facts of prevention suggest. The best programs for rapid and routine diagnosis of sore throats often have been mounted in communities in which rheumatic fever does not seem to be a problem at all. The streptococcal strains in such
Prevalence of Healthy Lifestyle Characteristics--Michigan, 1998 and 2000
Journal: JAMA (2001)

Most persons with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic lung disease share multiple common risk factors and lifestyle behaviors. Tobacco use, poor diet, and physical inactivity have been identified as the leading contributors to overall mortality in the United States, accounting for one third of all deaths; Michigan has a particularly high burden of chronic disease-related mortality. To characterize the prevalence of four healthy lifestyle characteristics (HLCs) (i.e., healthy weight, adequate fruit and vegetable consumption, regular leisure-time physical activity [LTPA], and not smoking) in Michigan residents, data were analyzed from Michigan's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) for 1998 and 2000. This report summarizes the results of the analysis, which indicate that the proportion of Michigan residents who engaged in all four healthy lifestyle practices was extremely low, and that the prevalence was influenced by sex, education and self-reported health status. The comprehensive assessment of HLCs may be a useful adjunct to chronic disease surveillance.

Immunofluorescence Tests for Antibodies to Epstein-Barr Virus With Sera of Lower Primates&lt;xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN1"&gt;2&lt;/xref&gt;
Journal: JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute (1972)

Sera from 7 species of old-world monkeys, 2 species of new-world monkeys, and 1 species of Prosimian were tested by indirect immunofluorescence for antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and EBV-related antigens. With acetone-fixed P3HR-1 and EB-3 cells, no fluorescence was observed with sera from the new-world monkeys or Prosimian. Positive reactions occurred with all species of old-world monkeys tested, but differences in reactivity were found when the same sera were tested with either anti-monkey γ-globulin or anti-human lgG conjugates. By comparison, such differences were not found with human sera and the 2 conjugates.

Physical Fitness for Exercise Participation
Authors: Russell C. Sneddon
Journal: JAMA (1972)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> In this Olympic year we at Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) headquarters are particularly pleased to see the most recent "Statement" by the AMA Committee on Exercise and Physical Fitness (<b>219</b>:900, 1972) in which pretest precautions are clearly outlined for the case of "... the apparently healthy person of<i>any</i>age...", (italics ours), although, by implication, the test would seem restricted to the problem of fitness in young and older adults, exclusively. In our own endeavors, on the other hand, as many as two thirds of our participants are boys and girls, 6 to 18 years old, and these, as ordained by Nature, must endure not just the "burden of maintenance" but the "burden of physical and mental growth" as well. Physical fitness in children and their performance in suitable tests depends in great part on whether a child is, or is not growing properly. And, in this
Bladder Filling Maneuver For Visualization of Calculus in Lower Ureter
Authors: Arjan D. Amar
Journal: JAMA (1972)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> After a urinary tract calculus has been demonstrated by excretory urography, its progress along the ureteral lumen must be observed by periodic roentgenographic studies. When the stone is not demonstrated in the lower part of the ureter, one must decide whether it has been passed or is still present. Before transurethral extraction or ureterolithotomy, one must visualize the stone roentgenographically in order to plan the approach. However, a calculus in the pelvic portion of the ureter, especially if it is small, of low radiodensity, or both, is often hard to demonstrate roentgenographically because of gas and feces in the intestinal tract. The simple maneuver described here shifts the bowel out of the pelvis and permits clear visualization of this portion of the ureter. <h3>Method.—</h3> The bladder is filled to capacity with sterile water through a urethral Foley catheter or through the cystoscope at the time of cystoscopic
Portuguese Man-of-War Envenomization
Authors: J. Joseph Marr
Journal: JAMA (1967)

THE FOLLOWING is a description of a systemic reaction to the sting of a Portuguese Man-of-War; the sting occurred while I was on a training exercise with the 8th Special Forces Group SCUBA Team in Limon Bay, Canal Zone. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> While swimming at a depth of 15 feet, I felt a sudden severe stinging sensation on the right shoulder, as though a hot iron had been placed there. The shock of the contact was sufficient to bring about an involuntary jerking and thrashing in the water. Within seconds there began a sensation of tightness in the chest and a bilateral subcostal constriction. The burning in the shoulder spread rapidly to include the upper arm, and cramping began deep in the hypogastrium. Concurrently there were abdominal skeletal muscle spasms and waves of paresthesias of a tingling nature which started in the shoulder and moved over the body. Within

Measurement of Total Respiratory and Nasal Airflow Resistance
Authors: Leo J. Cass
Journal: JAMA (1967)

Studies on alveolar ventilation, gaseous diffusion, and the mechanical events of breathing have been extensively explored over the last two decades. Airway obstruction is the common cause of dyspnea of pulmonary origin. According to Gainsler and Lindgren,<sup>1</sup>obstruction may be at the bronchiolar level, and when it occurs intermittently due to increased tone of the bronchial musculature or edema of the bronchial mucosa or both, the picture is one of bronchial asthma. When the obstruction is more or less continuous, appears irreversible, and is associated with distal lung pathology, chronic obstructive emphysema is the most likely diagnosis. A number of tests have been developed to aid in the detection of defects in the mechanics of breathing. These basically involve measurement of expiratory and inspiratory air flow mechanisms. Quiet expiration is thought of as a passive act accomplished by potential energy stored in the elastic tissues of the lungs during
Sudden Death Among Southeast Asian Refugees
Authors: Roy C. Baron
Journal: JAMA (1983)

In the period July 15, 1977, through March 30, 1982, there were at least 51 sudden, unexplained deaths in the United States among refugees from Southeast Asia. These deaths involved relatively young (median age, 33 years), previously healthy persons. All except one were male, and all died at night. Available data from studies among young adults in this country suggest that this specific phenomenon has an unusually high incidence among Laotian and Kampuchean refugees and, furthermore, has not previously been observed in the United States. Interviews with families of the decedents and a case-control study have failed to establish causal factors, but emotional stress cannot be ruled out as a contributing element. While reviews of the forensic investigations have confirmed the absence of important common pathological or toxicological findings, preliminary findings of special postmortem cardiac studies, now in progress, suggest that at least some of these deaths may be associated with developmentally abnormal conduction system pathways. Further studies are required to confirm this association, to define the apparently sleep-induced mechanism that triggers these deaths, and to explain the male preponderance in this disorder.

Induction of Oral Mucosal Tumors in Hamsters and Rats Treated With Methyl(acetoxymethyl)nitrosamine&lt;xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN2"&gt;2&lt;/xref&gt;
Authors: S. V. Bhide, K. M. Munir, M. Wiessler, A. V. Sarode, C. S. Soman
Journal: JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute (1984)

An oral tumor model has been developed in inbred Syrian golden hamsters by continuous applications every 2 weeks of methyl(acetoxymethyl)nitrosamine [(DMN-OAC) CAS: 56856-83-8; methylnitrosaminomethyl ester acetic acid] at 2 mg/kg body weight alone or by a single application of DMN-OAC followed by continuous twice weekly applications of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) (1 μg/animal). Similar studies were done in the W rat buccal mucosa. In the hamsters treated continuously with DMN-OAC, 100% of the tumors were observed in the cheek pouch; none were observed at other sites. In contrast, in the rats treated similarly, only a 67% tumor incidence was observed, of which only 42% were oral tumors. A promoter effect of TPA was observed in hamster cheek pouch tumors induced by DMN-OAC, whereas rat oral mucosa did not respond to TPA treatment.

The Teaching of Preventive Medicine
Authors: E. Harold Hinman
Journal: JAMA (1968)

Many years ago Perkins<sup>1</sup>defined health as "a state of relative equilibrium of body form and function which results from its successful dynamic adjustment to forces tending to disturb it." The term preventive medicine connotes the science and art of promotion of physical and mental health, the prevention of disease, the prevention of progression of disability, and prolongation of efficient and healthful living. When preventive medicine is practiced for groups and communities, it is usually referred to as public health. The graduate instruction of public health as presented in a school of public health, as well as graduate teaching of occupational and aerospace medicine, will be omitted from this discussion. The AMA "Essentials of Approved Residencies" states<sup>2</sup>: Preventive medicine embraces a broad spectrum of professional activity in the present-day highly organized and complex structure of medical practice which has been differentiated into closely related yet discretely identified specialty
Corticosteroid-Induced Glaucoma and Cataracts in Contact Lens Wearers
Authors: Ronald M. Burde

The indiscriminate topical application of corticosteroids to the eyes of two young patients induced cataracts and glaucoma with permanent visual defects. Individuals with a high degree of myopia and family history of glaucoma are more susceptible than others to this condition.
Percutaneous Radiographically Guided Catheter Drainage of Abdominal Abscesses
Authors: Eric vanSonnenberg
Journal: JAMA (1982)

We performed computed body tomography and ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage in 45 cases of abdominal abscess. Evacuation of the cavity was achieved in 40 cases (89%), eliminating the need for surgery in 34 patients. There were six recurrent abscesses, all due to fistulous communications or recurrent infected tumor. Major complications were a lacerated mesenteric vessel and a small-bowel fistula. Drainage catheters were removed an average of seven days after insertion. In many cases, guided percutaneous radiological drainage is an effective alternative to operative therapy, especially in severely ill patients. (<i>JAMA</i>1982;247:190-192)
